Pretty Good book in this series and hard to put down before finishing. Even the ending wasn't too much of a disappointment! There have been better in the series but this one is an OK book. Sharon is still a great character and the series needs more of Hannah and Modo!

Enjoyed the Canadian premise of the book. The characters were real and you felt Green's challenges both at home and on the job. Nice to be introduced to a new (to me) Canadian author.http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/1...
